  1. I'm selling a bass to buy this. Hopefully, this will still be around.
  2. I bought this bass last summer, and it's in mint condition. It comes with a Dingwall gig bag and a tool kit. This instrument is fabulous, featuring a lovely low action. It has just been restrung with a new set of Dingwall nickel strings. I'm selling it because there's another bass for sale that I'm eager to purchase. If that one sells, I will withdraw this from sale.
  3. Bump. Open to reasonable offers.
  4. This is a fantastic sounding and easily transportable rig. I bought it new in November 2024, it's in like-new condition. DG112N Lightweight Bass Cabinet Featuring the distinctive Darkglass look with carbon fiber Tolex, now loaded with custom-made Eminence® Neodymium drivers for a super low-weight solution with the massive and present tone, performance, and reliability we are known for. Technicals details: Speaker Custom Design Eminence® Speaker Horn P-Audio PHT-410 Cabinet Material Paulownia w/ Baltic Birch Front Baffle Frequency response (-10dB) 36Hz – 15kHz Sensitivity (@1m, 1W) 95dBSPL Impedance 8 Ohm Power Handling RMS 500 Watts Tweeter Action Frequency 2 kHz Number and type of Inputs Two Speakon-1/4″ combo jacks Dimensions Width: 48.5 cm / 19″ Depth: 43.5 cm / 17″ Height: 42.8 cm / 17″ Weight: 12.5 kg / 27.6 lb In as new condition. Complete with an official padded cover. £425 Alpha Omega 500 Head The backbone of the amp comes in the form of the Alpha and Omega analog drive engines. These have quickly developed an excellent reputation within the bass community. They provide a nice contrast to one another; Omega is raw and in your face; Alpha is more precise, punchy and offers greater definition. You can then utilise the Mod control to blend between the two drive circuits. They're complimented by a custom-made Darkglass, high-efficiency class-d power amp module. It lets you use speaker cabs with a low impedance (e.g. 2Ω). This makes your potential cabinet choice far more versatile than it otherwise might be. That's not all though. A built-in cab simulation harness an enhanced version of the popular Darkglass Electronics cab sim/IR module. This boasts a trio of slots that contain your hi-resolution impulse responses. You'll find them active for your balanced XLR DI output and the headphone output. These features (plus an aux input) make the amp ideal for silent practice and recording too! The package is rounded out by a quiet graphic 6-band EQ and a high-quality single-knob VCA compressor - with additional intelligent makeup gain. Features Custom-made Darkglass high performance Class-D power amp module. Works with Intelligent and super Intelligent footswitches. Control over VCA compressor (programmable off/on per channel). Loads impulse responses. Connect to the free Darkglass Suite for PC/Mac using USB. Headphone output (with cab simulation). 3.5mm aux input. FX loop. XLR DI output (with ground lift). Ultra-quiet 6-band graphic EQ. Integrated adjustable studio-grade VCA compressor. Three speaker cab impulse response slots (select using the cab select switch). Clean/drive blend control (with dedicated growl/bite switches). MOD control (used to blend between the Omega and Alpha distortion engines). Analog preamp (with active/passive input switch). 8/4/2 Ohm load compatible. 500 W RMS power output. Complete with an official padded carry bag. £545
  5. Darkglass ADAM £315 Bought new just before Christmas. The Darkglass Adam is a bass effects pedal manufactured by Darkglass. The Aggressively Distorting Advanced Machine has three fully programmable rotating footswitch presets. Each of these stores your unique blend of compression, distortion, impulse responses, EQ parameters, and signal chain settings. Featuring a unique and innovative top-notch precision touch slider interface, for its 6-band programmable EQ.
  6. As a graduate of and current tutor at ICMP, I can categorically state that they most certainly do not just let anyone in. The audition process is very rigorous and in two parts. There's an initial assessment that checks if you're good enough to audition - this is actually tougher than the audition for a lot of places - and then there's the audition proper. I actually failed my first audition and had to redo it six months later.
  7. How do the spammers know the recipients are members?
  8. I know of someone who teaches the Alexander Technique.
  9. If I remember rightly he was offering to build instruments for a ridiculously cheap price, and people like a bargain. If you actually stopped to think about what he was offering you'd realise he couldn't possibly purchase the materials and build the instrument for the price he was quoting.
  10. The man is a crook, pure and simple. He’d actually be well at home in the current government.
  11. So, restrict access to the wanted section for new members until they've made a certain number of posts and gained a reputation. There is, of course, nothing stopping a would-be scammer from becoming a supporting member, without building a reputation on the site. I used to be a supporting member. I cancelled two days before it was due to renew after one of the mods was rude and disrespectful a while ago. Thanks for the offer to edit the adverts. I've joined some Facebook groups and posted wanted ads there.
  12. Surely, instead of restricting access to the wanted section, it's better to restrict access to the messaging function for new members. I have adverts there that I'm now unable to edit. I have in the past used it to buy gear and on occasion sell items.
  13. I don't use any of them. I buy CDs and vinyl. If I'm driving I listen to a CD or the radio. If I'm on the train I read a book. I absolutely refuse to have anything to do with Spotify.
  14. Yes, we’re wired differently. I treat people with respect. Unlike you.
  15. Charming, and you’re a moderator. So your ears will tell you how something will sound before you’ve played it? I know what something will sound like and how it’ll work against what’s being played. Anyway. Life is too short to be arguing with rude people online. I’ll take my leave. Bye!
  16. No, your ears will only tell you after the event. Knowing theory you know what you can do and how it’ll sound. Do you think Miles Davis, John Paitucci or Chick Corea etc., played random notes in the hope they’d sound good? My point was that he ‘thought’ it sounded good.
  17. Ears aren’t necessarily foolproof. A student proudly presented me with a piece of work earlier that sounded awful - he’d paid no attention to the harmony of the piece - and was hopelessly out of time in places. I know what will work in a given context and how it’ll sound. No guesswork involved. Your ears will only tell it sounds okay after the event. Knowing it will sound bad will save you from that in advance.
